MCC take steps on morning of the game to ensure every ticket is sold as more than 100,000 fans have watched past five deciders
AFL and MCC will seek to ensure tickets are sold out for the 2024 grand final between Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.AFL and MCC will seek to ensure tickets are sold out for the 2024 grand final between Sydney Swans and Brisbane Lions at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.claims the MCG could be filled four times over on grand final day, but that’s of little help to the team tasked with ensuring the attendance figure actually reaches the magical six figures.
But if full members are not going to fill the entire allotment, MCC puts the call out to restricted members who wouldn’t normally be able to buy grand final tickets. “For us, it’s important that we maximise that, and we can keep drip feeding people in until we’re comfortable with our own capacity,” Eltringham said. “It’s a challenge, but it’s a good challenge to have.”The past five grand finals held at the MCG have cracked the threshold of 100,000 according to the formal attendance figures, which are widely accepted to be the number of sold tickets.
The remainder – approximately 25,000 – go to what the AFL calls “other stakeholders”, such as clubs, broadcast and corporate partners. There are also premium hospitality experiences sold by the AFL which cost between $420 and $5,995. “We’ve found another thousand tickets this year, we’ve also said to club members that we’ll work with the clubs and work with other stakeholders across our industry to try and find more tickets next year, but we’re never going to have enough tickets to satisfy the members.”
